Why Plato Matters Now – An In-Depth Conversation
Thursday 8 October
Friends Meeting House
12noon
How can we relearn the crucial art of dialogue? What is involved in living a good life? How can we protect a democracy from being subverted into autocracy by an opportunistic demagogue?
In this in-depth audience conversation, based on her recent book, Angie Hobbs explores how the ancient Greek philosopher Plato can help us with all these urgent questions and many more.
Angie shows how she has used Plato’s ideas and arguments in a variety of sectors to address contemporary issues and invites the audience to discuss with her what further lessons can be applied.
We are living in fast-moving and uncertain times and need ancient wisdom more than ever. Plato really does matter, right now!
